You verify fixtures, pick the right cutting tools and holders, and load programs using G & M code. First-article inspections follow, using micrometers and other metrology to lock in quality. Through the morning, you move between 3-5-axis mills, a lathe, and specialized equipment--drilling, tapping, reaming, chamfering, and cutting. You monitor productivity, adjust offsets, and troubleshoot to keep throughput at or above plan while reducing scrap and rework.
